Vbeam Pulse Dye Laser in the US
Vbeam laser, also known as pulsed-dye laser, is a type of laser technology used in dermatology for various skin conditions. The laser emits a short pulse of high-intensity yellow light that is absorbed by the blood vessels in the skin. The absorbed light then damages the blood vessels, causing them to break down and eventually disappear.

Benefits of the Vbeam Pulse Dye Laser
The Vbeam Pulsed-Dye Laser is a type of vascular laser that is specifically designed to target and treat vascular skin conditions. Here are some of the key benefits of this technology:
- Treats a Range of Skin Conditions: The Vbeam laser is effective at treating a variety of skin conditions, including rosacea, spider veins, port wine stains, hemangiomas, red birthmarks, and more.
- Targeted Treatment: The pulsed-dye laser technology specifically targets blood vessels in the skin without affecting surrounding tissues. This makes it an incredibly precise treatment.
- Minimal Discomfort: Most patients find the Vbeam laser treatment to be comfortable with minimal pain. The device includes a dynamic cooling device that sprays a cooling mist onto the skin before each laser pulse, minimizing discomfort.
- Non-Invasive: Vbeam laser treatments are non-invasive and typically have minimal downtime. Many patients return to their normal activities immediately following treatment.
- Safe for Most Skin Types: While all laser treatments should be used with caution on darker skin types to avoid discoloration, the Vbeam laser is generally considered safe for most skin types when used by a trained professional.
- Effective Results: The Vbeam laser has a long track record of effective results. Multiple sessions may be needed for optimal results, but many patients see improvement after the first session.
- Skin Rejuvenation: Apart from treating specific skin conditions, the Vbeam laser can stimulate collagen production in the treated area, resulting in smoother, healthier-looking skin.
What to Expect from a Vbeam Treatment
Vbeam laser treatments are performed at our office and take about 30 minutes to an hour. Before the treatment, a numbing cream may be applied to the skin to reduce any discomfort. During the treatment, the laser device is passed over the skin several times, emitting pulses of light. Most people experience some mild discomfort during the treatment, but this is usually described as a mild sting or pinch.
After the VBeam treatment, the skin may appear red and swollen, but these side effects usually resolve within a few days. It is vital to avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin during the healing process.
Multiple Vbeam treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results, and the number of treatments required will depend on each individual’s skin condition and the severity of the issue being treated. It is also important to mention that the results of Vbeam laser treatments are not immediate, and it may take several weeks or months for the blood vessels to fully disappear and for the redness to subside.

Who is a Candidate for Vbeam Pulse Dye Laser?
The Vbeam Pulsed-Dye Laser is a versatile treatment that can be used to address various skin conditions. Ideal candidates for this treatment often include those who:
- Have Vascular Skin Conditions: The Vbeam laser is specifically designed to treat vascular skin conditions, such as rosacea, spider veins, port wine stains, and hemangiomas.
- Have Scarring: The Vbeam laser can be effective in decreasing the appearance of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars.
- Are in Good Health: As with most cosmetic procedures, ideal candidates are generally those in good overall health without any conditions that might interfere with the healing process.
- Have Light to Medium Skin Tones: While Vbeam treatments can be safe for the majority of skin types when performed by a trained professional, they’re typically most effective on lighter skin tones. Darker skin tones may require more careful treatment to avoid potential changes in pigmentation.
- Have Realistic Expectations: Candidates should understand what Vbeam treatments can and cannot do and have realistic expectations about the potential results.
- Don’t Have Active Skin Infections or Inflammation: If you have active skin infections, such as cold sores or inflammatory skin conditions in the area to be treated, you may need to wait until these have resolved before undergoing Vbeam treatment.
As always, it’s essential to consult with one of our dermatology experts at Blue Ridge Dermatology to see if you’re a suitable candidate for Vbeam treatments. We will take into account your specific skin conditions, overall health, and treatment goals to give you the best advice.
